Despite the pain, Lewandowski revealed that he put himself “into the hands of physios” before the La Liga match against Girona and decided to play with a protective belt:

I didn’t want to leave my teammates stranded.

In that sense, he acknowledged that his performance had fallen off since the World Cup in Qatar, but he didn’t want to use his physical problems as an excuse.

It’s true that I scored less than in other seasons, but it’s not up to me to score more goals, and in recent weeks it has cost us more as a team. But in the remaining ten games, I hope to score the way I scored before, and not the way I do now.

In any case, he asked for patience for himself and for the project.

You can’t change everything in a few months. New players came in, we had a lot of injuries at key moments, and it was not a perfect season, but you need to be patient. The next one will be better.

Lewandowski recalled that, despite everything, Barça won the championship Spanish Super Cupwas a semi-finalist of the Spanish Cup and is “one step away” from victory league.

It has not been won for three years, and this would be very important not only for many young players who have not yet won, but also for the credibility of the project. There are only ten games left, and now we are fully focused on getting it.
